Intra-query Paralleism caused your query to deadlock . . .

We often get the above message from our Sql Server 2000 Transactional Replication Distribution service. How do we implement the OPTION (MAXDOP 1) hint as directed? It seems I would have to modify the MS procedures. Can't do that. Any suggestions?

I originally posted this in the Replication forum but was ignored so I thought that perhaps a more "general" forum would attract a different kind of contributor . . .

If you cant give the OPTION (MAXDOP 1) query hint, you can change the Max Degree of Parallelism setting to 1, which in effect gives the same result.|||

Are you suggesting that the max parallism for the entire server be changed to 1? Is that the solution? Will setting this option affect other queries in the system? What are other DBA's doing to solve this problem? I am concerned about the performance impact on the other queries in the server.

Thanks a lot Roji.
